Nick Cave – Todays Lesson Lyrics

  • by
Read Time:1 Minute, 27 Second

Little Janie, she wakes up from a dream
A gun like a jawbone down the waistband of her jeans
Mr Sandman, he can recite todays lesson in his sleep
He says there oughta be some kind of law against me going down on the street
And little Janie pipes up and she says
She says were gonna have a real good time tonight
Yeah, tonight

All right

Down the back of Janies jeans she had the jawbone of an ass
Mr Sandman, he runs around the corner
Trying to head her off at the pass
He sticks his head over the fence and yells something way too fast
Its todays lesson, something about the corruption of the working class

Little Janie walks up on the floor and she says
Were gonna have a real good time tonight

Come on

Janie says were all such a crush of want half-mad with loss
We are violated in our sleep and we weep and we toss and we turn and we burn
We are hypnotised we are cross-eyed we are pimped we are bitched
We are told such monstrous lies

Janie wakes up and she says
Were gonna have a real good time tonight

Mr Sandman, he has a certain appetite for Janie in respose
He digs her pretty knees and that she is completely naked underneath all her clothes
He likes to congregate around the intersection of Janies jeans, yeah
Mr Sandman the inseminator opens her up like a love letter and enters her dreams

Little Janie wakes up and she says
Were gonna have a real good time tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Were gonna have a real good time
Come on, come on, come on
Were gonna have a real good time
